About This Book

This book is about the graphic work in Colombia of the Hungarian mechanical engineer and draftsman Péter Áldor, providing biographical information, and illustrating his artistic life before his arrival in Colombia and familiarizes readers with his drawing technique and themes. It also shows the active role he played in the strategy of the newspaper El Tiempo to express their anti-communism much more through graphics than through the written text, since his ingenuity, talent and professionalism were excellent virtues used in order to contribute to the expansion of an anti-communist consciousness among Colombians. Thanks to Áldor's caricatures, the reader will perceive the presence in Colombia of the intensity of the Cold War in the world and the hot war in Colombia, and how from its traces emerges a deep ethical proposal to save humanity through Christianity.
